초록

Reconstructed in this article is the lineage of the Park House royal figures, to be analyzed for their relationships (and in some cases multiple relationships) with several kings, in order to determine how the successor to the throne was usually decided. For this task, a lineage table based upon data extracted from Samguk Sagi, and another lineage based upon information suggested by Samguk Yusa were both created, but neither one was dismissed. Information from both texts were simultaneously examined and cross-referenced to be verified. Discrepancies between both records may provide us with cause for further examination, but hopefully, will ultimately lead to a more comprehensive lineage table based upon information embedded in both texts. The most crucial figure to note in the task of recreating lineage of the Park house royal figures is no other than Ilji Galmun-wang. In various texts, he is either recorded as the father-in-law(妃父) of Yuri Isageum, or the father-in-law of Ilseong Isageum, or even the father of Ilseong. By comparing relevant data suggested in both Samguk Sagi and Samguk Yusa, we can safely theorize that Ilji Galmun-wang was actually the older brother of Yuri and father of Ilseong, which makes Ilseong and Pasa Isageum not brothers but cousins. In this period, the oldest son was not automatically granted the status of a successor to the throne, and such successor had to be equipped with competence and experience. But the Ilseong line and Pasa line, which originated from different founding fathers, fought with each other over the throne, and Pasa -who was younger than Ilseong- became the next king. Later the thrones were succeeded by the oldest and legitimate sons. Conflicting records should all be included in the examination process in order for the lineage to be newly reconstructed. The result would be a new understanding of the throne-succession process of the Park house royal figures, which was previously believed to have been rather uneventful but turned out to be actually quite turbulent due to internal conflicts. We can also see certain changes in principles unfolding, concerning the throne succession process itself.
